University of Oregon study shows how passive exposure can be a valuable tool for learning.

Researchers trained mice to reach for a reward in a particular spot in response to tones that slid up or down in pitch.

Some of the mice got passive exposure, where they heard the sounds while they weren't engaged in the task.

The study gives additional insight into the possible brain mechanisms behind the effect.
