remembering college psychology, there was some shrink that put their child in a sterile cube with the absolute minimum of human needs with no outside inflence.
net result?
nobody knows, the rumor was the child ended up with serious issues. no social or coping skills.
Skinner, but apparently the rumors weren’t true. Here is a link. It’s snopes:

I had to look it up, because I recalled the story exactly as you did. His daughter is still alive and disputes the sterile cube and abuse. She doesn’t sound crazy. Honestly I know we studied Skinner in my Psych classes and the Skinner Box (which are not the same thing as what he is supposed to have put his daughter in) but I don’t recall if the story of his daughter ever came up there, or if I read about that somewhere else.
