Hello,

We have a patron who remembers reading a book in high school
(approximately 1976 or so) about an experiment done with children
where they were taken to a big warehouse and watched to see how
they problem-solved to get food, water, etc.

Patron remembers something about B.F. Skinner or someone similar
(maybe from a Psych 101 class?!) and behavioral psychology.

Any ideas?

We've found one hopeful, THE WAVE by Todd Strasser, but it was
published in 1981.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Christine Perkins

Could it be House of Stairs by William Sleator?
