Abstract
⺠We extend the uniqueness point concept to complex words. ⺠Two different uniqueness points predict auditory lexical decision to complex words. ⺠We argue that these uniqueness point effects arise due to large surprisal (Levy, 2008). ⺠Moreover, how cumulative surprisal builds up in a word co-determines response time. ⺠Surprisal measures cognitive cost in sequence processing at word and sentence level.
