    "abstract": "Navigation is a well-specified computational problem, and solving it is vital for survival. Given\nthese constraints, we might expect that humans differ minimally in their wayfinding capabilities.\nIndeed, a lack of variation is often implicitly assumed when cognitive scientists debate the\nexistence of cognitive maps or when cognitive neuroscientists search for the neural substrates of\nnavigation. However, in everyday life, we frequently discuss how some people get lost with\nsome frequency, or how women ask for directions while men use maps. Indeed, it is increasingly\napparent in the scientific data on navigation (and other cognitive domains) that the study of\nnormative functioning needs to be integrated with the study of human variation, with its\nattendant challenges regarding experimental design and use of psychometrics. The four papers in\nthis symposium gather together current work in cognitive science and neuroscience that aim to\nintegrate the study of variation into the more common normative approach.",
