However, task-relevant content often occupies only a small fraction of the observation, while background clutter and distractors consume valuable representational capacity. This mismatch between visual reconstruction and control objectives biases latent representations to model task-irrelevant visual content, diluting learning signals for control-relevant features and severely degrading downstream performance under visual distractions. We introduce TaskSense, a task-centric world modeling framework that enforces task relevance before latent encoding through a differentiable stochastic spatial attention mechanism conditioned on the previous latent state. To steer attention toward control-relevant regions, we augment training with an auxiliary inverse-dynamics objective. Rather than reconstructing the full observation, the world model reconstructs only the attended regions, encouraging latent representations to preserve task-relevant information while discarding irrelevant visual content. The decoder is further conditioned on the sampled attention map, enabling consistent reconstruction despite stochastic attention. Compared with the DreamerV3 baseline, TaskSense maintains competitive performance on the DeepMind Control Suite while consistently outperforming DreamerV3 on the Distracting Control Suite, demonstrating substantially improved robustness to visual distractions. Qualitative analysis further confirms that the learned attention, guided by inverse-dynamics supervision, consistently localizes control-relevant regions while suppressing irrelevant visual content.
