Morgan assumed that the disorder was congenital rather than acquired by postnatal injury or assault.\u00a0 Congenital word blindness was first thought to be caused by a defect in the angular gyrus of the left cerebral hemisphere, an area of the brain associated with visual memory of words. The condition, however, was later viewed as a problem with left-right orientation and stephosymbolia caused in part by a lack of cerebral dominance."}
