Presumably, human learning isn't that slow though - if you simply count the
number of attempts made before any given movement is mastered at a basic
level (.e.g crawling/ walking/ grasping/ tennis forehand etc)? My guess
would be that, for all the frustrations involved, we need relatively few
attempts. Maybe in the hundreds or thousands at most?
But then it seems increasingly clear that we use maps/ graphics/ schemas to
guide our movements - have you read the latest Blakeslee book on body maps?
(She also cowrote Hawkins' book).

error
learning of how to pick up a ball?]
Pure trial and error learning is really slow though... we are now
relying on a combination of
-- reinforcement from a teacher
-- imitation of others' behavior
-- trial and error
-- active correction of wrong behavior by a teacher
