Hello everybody.
Golfers aren’t alone. Loss aversion relative to a salient goal shows up all over the place:baseball players change their behavior as the season is about to end, in an attempt to get their batting average above .300, and high school students are more likely to repeat their SAT exams if they fell just short of a round number.
Would you please tell me what salient goal and round number mean?
Does salient goal mean expectant goal and round number means the least number needed to pass the exam?
Thanks ??

salient goal: important objective, noteworthy target
round number: a number that ends in zero(s), e.g., 20, 800, 19000
