Cross-sectional analysis reveals how reinforcement learning improves motor skills in children, indicating key developmental changes.

Learning in motor skills improves with age, reaching adult-like levels by adolescence.
3–8 year-olds exhibit incomplete reinforcement motor learning, with issues in exploration and motor noise.
Using discrete targets and deterministic rewards enhances learning in younger children.
The study highlights developmental challenges with spatial processing and probabilistic reasoning in young children.

Hill et al. (2025) studied this question.
