I forgot to mention: this is the context for the word (which seems like a definition, but I don't understand it).

"salience (i.e., when the activity becomes the sole focus of the individual's life, leading to cravings to engage in the activity and potentially distorted behaviours and thoughts)"

Something that is salient is immediately apparent or “jumps out” at you. In this context, I would guess that it’s speaking to the predominance of an activity in someone’s life, i.e., an activity becomes highly salient once it is highly predominant.
