Submission declined on 18 March 2025 by NiftyyyNofteeeee (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by NiftyyyNofteeeee 8 days ago. | ![]() |
Comment: Please do not resubmit without addressing the reasons the draft was declined. Thanks! bonadea contributions talk 15:49, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
Comment: She does seriously interesting work, but it is very uncommon for a postdoc to be notable as Wikipedia defines notability – see the criteria in the decline notices above. bonadea contributions talk 14:57, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
Marlijn ter Bekke (born in 1995 Leeuwarden, Netherlands) is a Dutch cognitive scientist. In her research career, she has mostly focused on the use of multimodal signals in social, face-to-face interaction and their contribution to predictive processing.[1][2][3]
Life and career
[edit]Marlijn ter Bekke is currently a postdoctoral researcher the Communication in Social Interaction lab, led by dr. Judith Holler at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, investigating the interplay of visual bodily signals and linguistic and prosodic structures.[4]
Education
[edit]Ter Bekke obtained a bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences (magna cum laude) at University College Utrecht in 2016. Here she majored in Mathematics and Cognitive Neuroscience and minored in Psychology and Linguistics.
In 2018, she obtained a master’s degree in Cognitive Neuroscience (cum laude) from Radboud University, Nijmegen, specializing in the track Language and Communication.[5]
In 2025, she publicly defended her doctoral dissertation entitled On how gestures facilitate prediction and fast responding during conversation at Radboud University in Nijmegen, obtaining the degree of doctor.
