There is. It is an actual disability. It has to do with lack of development of the arcuate fasciculus, a bundle of axons which connect regions of the brain. Problems in this area of the brain are also related to stuttering and conductive aphasia, a language disorder.
Some have suggested that the area may be strengthened by musical training, but that is not tested.
