Abstract: Executive function and spatial abilities are essential components of human cognition and underscore academic success in fields such as science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The aim of the present study is to examine the association between executive function and landmark integration in reorientation behavior, which is thought to develop independently of other foundational cognitive processes. After controlling for the effects of age, executive function was found to be a significant predictor of reorientation. These findings suggest that landmark integration does not develop independently of other cognitive mechanisms.
