The purpose of splitting the babies into two groups in Dye and Skeels’ experiments is that the one-half of the groups will receive a special treatment. Skeels and Dye's experiment is an experiment wherein the children in a certain experimental group will be removed from the non-stimulating orphanage and then they will be placed in the one-to-one care of teenage girls who have mental problem and at the same time who lived at the institution.
