Many everyday tasks require us to integrate information from multiple steps to make a decision. Dominant accounts of flexible cognition suggest that we are able to navigate such complex tasks by attending to each step in turn, yet few studies measure how we direct our attention to immediate and future task steps. Here, we used a two-step task to test whether participants are sensitive to information that is currently irrelevant but will be relevant in a future task step. Participants viewed two displays in sequence, each containing two superimposed moving dot clouds of different colors. Participants attended to one cued target color in each display and reported the average direction of the two target dot clouds. In a subset of trials, we presented a “decoy” distractor: the second target color appeared as the distractor in the first display. We regressed behavioral responses on the dot clouds’ motion directions to track how this future-relevant “decoy” distractor influenced participants’ reporting of the average target direction. We compared the influence of decoy distractors to never-relevant, recently relevant, and globally relevant distractor baselines. Across four experiments, we found that responses reflected what was immediately relevant, as well as the broader historical relevance of the distractors. However, relevance for a future task step did not reliably influence attention. We propose that attention in multistep tasks is shaped by what has been relevant in the current setting, and by the immediate demands of each task step.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
