Recent work has shown that abstract, non-spatial relationships between task-relevant states or entities are organized into map-like neural representations1–5. Here, we investigate how these map-like representations interact with changing task goals in the context of cognitive control, where the features most relevant to the current goal benefit from top-down biasing. Classic computational neuroscience studies of cognitive control have focused on explicitly presented categorical features rather than map-like representations retrieved from memory, and have typically found facilitation of task-re
