The neurobiological explanation for learning a skill is performing as many repetitions per unit of time as possible in the beginning, allowing for many errors, which will lead to correct performance, due to a massive spike in dopamine.

Summary
The neurobiological explanation for learning a skill is performing as many repetitions per unit time as you possibly can. Repetition leads to faster learning through an increase in forward steps, repetitions, and effort without digging deeper, according to studies like the Super Mario effect, the online experiment, and the tube test.

Making lots of errors is integral to the learning process as it triggers a spike in dopamine when the motor pattern is performed correctly.

Summary
Making lots of errors is integral to the learning process as it triggers a spike in dopamine when the motor pattern is performed correctly. These errors cue people to the need for change in order to increase plasticity and improve skill acquisition.
