Although young children believe that contaminated substances contain imperceptible substrates, they may assume that the mere presence of a contaminant guarantes the presence of its substrates in a physically removed substance (associational contamination). In this study, the proximity of a contaminant (bug) to a beverage (juice) was systematically manipulated, and children were asked whether someone would get sick from drinking the beverage. Some preschoolers, and most 7- and 8-years-olds, recognized the need for physical contact between the bug and juice to make the juice noxious.
