Oh and by the way (BTW).....
There seems to be a tad bit of confusion regarding the definition of 'motor learning' in a previous post.

Motor learning can be used to both acquire new skills and in rehabilitation. Young students use motor learning in early grades as they learn to write and use scissors.

But another realm of motor learning is in rehabilitation. Damage to the body from injury or illness can result in the need for motor learning to recover range of motion or learn new ways of doing tasks that can no longer be carried out the way they once were.
This is why doing an activity over and over again is needed to learn a skill. It is also called Practice.
