Actually it doesn't. It identifies learning as part of the cause, but no part of the result. It says "the mirror neuron system showed more activity when a dancer saw movements he had been trained [to] perform ... " This means: You can get turned on by watching something you've learnt. It does not mean: You can get to learn something by watching it. Hence "The mirror system in the non-dancers showed appreciably less activity ..." does not mean the non-dancer is less able to learn by watching. Just he gets less turned on by dance.
