Veronica Mendoza is a lecturer in the Faculty of Arts and the School of Engineering at the University of the Basque Country. She is a PhD researcher supervised by Dr. Xabier Basogain and Dr. Ekaitz Zulueta. She holds a Master's degree in Linguistics Applied to the Teaching of English as a Foreign Language and previously worked as a research assistant at the Language and Speech Laboratory (LASLAB). Her research intersects neuroscience, cognitive and developmental psychology, biolinguistics, and linguistics, and applies these insights to human language learners, engineering, and Large Language Models (LLMs). She has developed and tested the Pedagogy of Sensory Chunks (© Veronica Mendoza, 2018, 2019) in human learners, which incorporates didactic devices like sensory chunking, employed to teach languages using end-to-end chunked sentences (as opposed to traditional lexical chunking). This pedagogy is grounded in the Essential Brain Matters, which are actually brain universals present in every healthy brain. These include brain area specialisations, cognitive functions—such as sensation, attention (e.g., cognitive load mitigation), perception, and memory—repetition, and reward (motivation and emotion), all together oriented toward brain efficiency and automaticity (e.g., chunk-based motor programmes and automatic speech). In addition, she expands this theoretical framework by bridging fundamental milestones in human language acquisition with computational capacities in LLMs.
