mso-border-alt:none windowtext 0cm;padding:0cm">Navigation and episodic memory are core features of human cognitive processing. Although they seem very different, research
has revealed behavioral and neural linkages between the two domains. This symposium aims to integrate perspectives from research in the two areas, using techniques from psychology and neuroscience (as well as linguistics, computer science, AI, and philosophy,
depending on participants’ interests). The symposium will focus primarily on the following topics, but is not limited to them:</span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;
