In language, there has been a debate among scientists for years about whether or not children have some innately special ability to learn. While the other comments about neuroplasticity are generally correct, it is also the case that children spend all day, every day *just* learning. They are immersed in a world that is mostly still new to them and for the most part their sole responsibility is to just learn. Playing is a form of learning.
As an adult, you have already learned a lot so most of what you encounter fall within stuff you already know. You have to search father outside of your normal experience to find new things, which you may or may not have time or inclination to do.
