Our environments are complex and ever changing. We report behavioral data and neural network simulations showing that, in multidimensional environments, humans adapt attentional control in a dimension-specific way.

Could you compose your cousin's epitaph while your sister shares his life stories, and also suppress your aunt’s push for more lasagne?
The three other dimensions can either facilitate or interfere (i.e., your sister and your aunt).
Also, interference comes from everywhere: Any non-cued dimension interfere with any cued task (as in the best families).
You are robust to congruency effects the more you have been previously exposed to incongruence (flatter, lighter lines).
(Check out @hritz.bsky.social’s new paper for a related, convergent, finding!)
Put simpler, participants adapted attention to a given dimension based selectively on the congruency history of that dimension with the cued task.
