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. Cue Huck: "No sh*t Sherlock!" ;)
