Some experiments have demonstrated that being involved in the 'generation' of the visual data (i.e. choosing where to move, where to look, how to alter reality) gets significantly better learning than passively receiving the exact same visual data. Active learning is a good way to improve sample efficiency - however, as others note, don't underestimate the quantity of learning data that a human baby needs for certain skills even with good, evolution-optimized priors.
