Description
Book Introduction
“A study brain is not born with it, it’s designed!”
Understanding and utilizing the child's brain
All About Acquired Aptitude for Studying
In less than a decade, the educational field has experienced rapid change.
As we navigate the unprecedented pandemic and the digitalization of education, children's brains are being damaged and optimized to focus solely on what's in front of them.
The side effects of pre-learning, known as the so-called '7-year-old exam', also add fuel to the fire.
If the brain is overly stimulated with excessive pre-learning from too early on, there is a risk that synaptic connections will become excessively fixed or distorted.
Even if a child's grades improve and they appear to be getting ahead, in the long run, this can result in hindering the emotional autonomy, creativity, abstract thinking, and social cognitive development necessary for learning.
A child who approaches study with an underprepared mind is like an athlete who steps onto the track barefoot without even sneakers.
Learning that does not take brain development into account, no matter how effective and famous, only increases a child's aversion to studying, causes them to become discouraged, and keeps them from achieving good grades.
Dr. Noh Gyu-sik, a psychiatrist, has published a new book titled "The Brain That Learns Is Made." Based on the author's accumulated brain science research, the book explains the principles of brain development in an easy-to-understand manner and systematically presents methods to enhance children's potential and cognitive abilities that aid learning.
This book is a compilation of 20 years of counseling experience and case studies from meeting countless children and parents with various learning concerns at the Study Brain Research Institute located in Daechi-dong.
This book will be most welcome to parents who waver between excessive responsibility and guilt while raising children.

Into the book
I have been studying brain science, cognitive development, and child psychology for a long time, observing children's learning and development.
And now I can tell you clearly.
A talent for studying isn't something you're born with.
A brain for studying can be developed later in life by understanding the principles of the brain and creating an environment that suits it.
--- p.9, from "Prologue"
It is not right to make a child into a study machine or to judge a child's potential simply by believing that a child who is good at studying is different from the beginning.
A child who is energetic and active, a child who is good at daydreaming, and even a child who is easily distracted can grow up to be a child who learns well and does well in school.
The important thing is not to confine a growing child to fit the mold of adults.
--- p.31, from “The difference between children who are good at studying and those who are not is in the brain”
The days of worrying about whether to unconditionally restrict digital devices are over.
More importantly, it is important to teach children how to use this powerful tool, that is, to develop the ability to be the subject of its use.
What children have lost most of all is the ability to think slowly, organize things on their own, and express themselves in their own words.
The digital environment fragments our thinking time, simplifies expression, and encourages reaction rather than understanding.
Therefore, what needs to be restricted is not the 'device' itself, but its indiscriminate use, overstimulation, and uncritical acceptance.
--- p.56, from “The Trapped Brains of Generation Alpha Children”
The brain develops through a balance of diverse stimuli and experiences.
Keep in mind that while excessive pre-learning may produce temporary benefits, it may not necessarily be beneficial for long-term cognitive, emotional, and social health development.
This is the starting point for ensuring good grades throughout your life.
--- p.96, from “Study: A Critical Period for Brain Development”
The main reason is that there is little concern about “how can learning be done effectively in the brain?” However, because we have given up on the brain, saying that we do not know much about it, the act of understanding the brain’s functions and roles and applying them to learning has not been considered relatively important.
But understanding the brain is not an option, it is a necessity and a reality.
This is because the brain provides the answers to questions such as what kind of pre-learning one should do by what age, what subjects one must complete by when to enter a prestigious university, and what effect pre-learning has on brain development.
--- p.104, from “Brain and Cognitive Ability”
One of the most common misconceptions about attention is the zero-sum perspective.
Simply put, it is thinking of concentration as dichotomous: either 'normal (high)' or 'ADHD.'
Even after counseling about their child's attention span, many parents still ask, "So, does that mean my child has ADHD? Or not?"
However, attention spans vary in degree, and there is no clear line between normal and abnormal.
Even children with a slight lack of attention can improve with proper training.
--- p.138, from “The brain of a child with inattentiveness is asleep”
Literacy doesn't develop overnight.
However, a child who has developed good literacy skills will have an unshakable learning foundation no matter what subject or situation he or she encounters.
Ultimately, what determines a child's learning capacity is not the amount of external knowledge, but the power of language to accept that knowledge and reconstruct it as one's own, and at the center of this is 'literacy'.
--- p.159, from “The Link Between Language Ability and Thinking Ability”
With similar intellectual abilities, similar environments, nearly identical private education programs, and even similar initial achievements, where did the critical difference arise? After research, I discovered one crucial point.
Children who maintained excellent grades until the end of middle school and were able to advance to specialized high schools had, without exception, a 'habit of understanding thinking.'
These kids knew how to learn.
--- p.163, from “Those who understand study longer than those who memorize”
To develop creativity, you must clearly have excellent basic skills and proficiency in a certain field.
Usually, each child has these abilities in different areas, and it is the important role of parents to find them and support them.
Rather than focusing on giftedness assessments or creativity tests, it is more accurate to look for the 'light' that is visible to the mother and reflected in the child's face.
Creativity thrives in an environment that fosters possibility.
--- p.184, from “Creative children also do well in school”
The learning strategy that children need more now is not 'faster' or 'more', but 'deeper and more meaningful' learning.
Mathematics is not a skill for finding the right answer, but a language that develops the ability to observe and understand the world.
Learning a language takes time and experience.
Helping the child's brain develop sufficiently through that process, albeit slowly but firmly.
That is truly the beginning of 'smart studying'.
--- p.198, from “Studying ahead makes children fall behind”
The brain is an organ that constantly receives and processes information, but it doesn't do all of this work evenly throughout the day.
The brain creates its own rhythm and regulates energy to function according to that rhythm.
This is especially true for a child's brain.
The young brain, still developing, is easily affected by even the slightest disruption to its daily rhythm, and shows immediate changes in emotional regulation, concentration, and motivation.
So, the more stable the daily routine, the more deeply the child's brain can learn, remember better, and recover more comfortably.
And now I can tell you clearly.
A talent for studying isn't something you're born with.
A brain for studying can be developed later in life by understanding the principles of the brain and creating an environment that suits it.

Publisher's Review
“What makes a good student different?”
Korea's representative education mentor, Noh Gyu-sik
Brain development classes that determine your lifelong learning acumen
Many parents see their children making mistakes, forgetting things they've learned, having trouble concentrating, and disliking studying, and think that it's because they're not born with a talent for studying, or have a low IQ.
The belief that a child who is not good at studying can get good grades if he or she works hard is also established as an established fact.
That's why parents, anxious and uneasy, enroll their children in cram schools to improve their grades from a young age, or focus excessively on the time their children spend sitting down and studying for long periods of time.
However, the real problem may not be the child's intelligence or concentration, but rather the fact that the brain conditions, living environment, and mindset necessary for learning are not properly aligned.
Author Noh Gyu-sik, who has been studying brain science, cognitive development, and child psychology for a long time and has observed children's learning and development, reveals that 'intelligence' and 'effort', which we consider the most important factors for studying well, are not such decisive factors.
The so-called 'study brain' is something that can be developed later in life by understanding the developmental stages and principles of the brain and creating an environment that suits it.
Knowing the study brain delivers a hopeful message that both parents and children can set and achieve learning goals in a fun and enjoyable way without being dragged around.
Children who are good at studying commonly have excellent 'strategic thinking skills'.
Strategic thinking ability refers to the effective use of learning skills such as memory to store learned information, attention to focus on necessary information, and cognitive flexibility to think flexibly according to the situation.
This is accomplished through several executive functions in the frontal lobe of the brain.
Ultimately, in order to study well, you must first understand the 'brain' that studies.
A learning brain that grows step by step over time,
Studying also requires a systematic strategy.
Learning involves a variety of brain functions working together.
However, simply forcing 'long periods of concentration' and 'studying centered on rote memorization' without properly understanding the child's brain and preparing them for study can have the opposite effect of extinguishing the child's curiosity, creativity, and even interest in studying.
A child's brain is growing every day.
Therefore, it is crucial to develop cognitive abilities such as memory, attention, language skills, thinking skills, and creativity necessary for learning in accordance with the brain's mechanisms.
As is well known, it is true that synapses are created explosively and the brain becomes very active before the age of ten.
However, due to the developmental stage of the brain, the ability to connect this to learning activities begins at the age of ten.
Between the ages of 0 and 7, when the foundation of the brain is being formed and language skills and sociality develop rapidly, rich experiences and interactions are more urgently needed than memorization-based learning.
Before the fourth grade of elementary school, when concepts and problems that require abstract thinking skills begin to appear, it is necessary to develop a brain that can understand and think about such concepts and establish a study strategy accordingly so that study habits that will not waver even in later grades can be established.
In "The Study Brain is Made," the author uses the examples of several children he met in Daechi-dong to emphasize how important and prioritized this "understanding of the study brain" is.
We introduce cases where children's potential and possibilities were limited due to the wrong guidance of their parents, such as Minseok, who became disliked studying due to his mother's obsession with education, Hosung, whose creativity was suppressed by his parents' overbearing attitude, and Seok, who became distracted due to the unstable living environment of his parents who both worked.
By understanding how a child's "study brain" works, identifying the exact reasons for poor learning, choosing the right study method for the child, and improving the behavior and environment to create an environment where children do not fear failure, they were able to welcome the moment when the children sat down at their desks with smiles on their faces.
To develop a child's study brain
Three Principles Parents Should Keep in Mind
A child's brain is greatly influenced by the words and attitudes of their parents, a healthy daily routine, and emotional stability.
If parents can return the initiative to their children and foster their curiosity by asking questions like, "Shall we do it together?" or "Why do you think that is?" instead of managing a tight study schedule and nagging them about studying, children can develop self-regulation and intrinsic motivation.
Additionally, parents' attitude of praising and acknowledging the process rather than the result fosters the perseverance and creativity to try again even after failure.
The younger the child, the more important factors influencing learning efficiency are living environment and habits.
Regular sleep, balanced meals, and adequate play and rest directly affect how the brain uses energy and processes information.
Because the brain operates most reliably within predictable patterns, the more erratic and variable the day becomes, the more unnecessary energy the brain expends adapting to new situations.
This can cause the child's emotions to become unstable and fatigue to increase.
Finally, a child who is emotionally stable rather than IQ-wise can have a solid learning foundation.
This is because the limbic system, which is responsible for emotions, affects the activity of the entire brain.
In particular, stress can damage the hippocampus, which plays a key role in storing long-term memories and learning.
If you are emotionally unstable, it is impossible to think complexly or learn deeply, and that is why emotional stability is a more essential foundation for learning than intelligence.
This book dispels the deep misconception that "study skills are innate," and shows anxious and confused parents at a glance "what, when, and how" to help their children according to the order in which their brains grow.
Additionally, it presents specific and actionable solutions based on the latest brain science research, enabling parents to become strong partners and learning strategists their children can trust and rely on.
To ensure that your child's long learning journey is not painful but rather a joyful and meaningful exploration of growth, why not join Director Noh Gyu-sik in building your child's innate "study brain"?
Our precious children are special beings with endless and amazing potential.
With adequate and consistent parental support, deep understanding, constant attention, and unconditional love, every child will grow at his or her own pace, in his or her own special way, but in a clear and healthy way.
This is the most precious and essential truth that we, as "master learning strategists," must keep in mind and practice at all times.
