Abstract	A simple dictation task composed of a random order of digits in both the Arabic and English language shows that children learning these digits map the structures of 7 and /spl gamma/ making them confuse the directions these digits face. A Kohonen self organizing feature map was used to represent each digit as a vector and assess their 'closeness' by competition but it failed to explain this behavior. A tensor based Kohonen map was designed to represent digits as matrices and seems to result in a relatively better representation. However, this too fails to explain the behavior, which implies that the behavior can only be explained through the 'meaning' of digit structure. When children learn how to write a digit, the direction it faces seems to be a 'semantic' value associated with the digit and is not described as part of the structure but is "inferred" from it.
