What problems might a patient have if their corpus callosum is cut?

For a person who was asked to describe/differentiate split pictures, when the corpus callosum of his is cut, he could speak or describe what he has seen in his right eye because speech is located in the left part of the brain, but if he was asked to visually point what he was saying, he will point out what his left eye saw, even though it's different from his topic, because his visualization is located in his right brain.

How do you describe the positive and negative influences on one's sense of self?

Positive influences on one's sense of self include encouraging words, especially those given in times when one might feel emotionally low. Also, not attacking the person if they do something that was wrong. For example, if a child does something they should not, do not say "You are a bad child." Instead, say, "What you did was not right." Constructive criticism in which the person is not attacked is a positive influence. Praising accomplishments, saying encouraging things when a person is doing a difficult project, etc. are also positive influences on a person's self. Negative influences include saying negative things that attack the person, like "You are really stupid," "Don't you know how to do that? I could do it years ago," "You are dumb," "I know that is not something you can do," etc. Negative influences go beyond words. A look of disgust, laughing at a mistake, making fun of a person in any way, etc. are negative influences. Basically, anything said or done to encourage and build a person up is a positive influence, and anything said or done that discourages or makes a person have negative feelings about him or herself is a negative influence on one's sense of self. There are other factors that can have positive or negative effects on one's sense of self. One of those is a person's economic status. People who are economically well-off usually find having a good sense of self is easier than those who are poor. Having parents who have healthy senses of self can also be a factor. People with good self-images usually find it easier to instill that into their children.
