Abstract
Recently, a dual reinforcement process to contextual discounting was introduced. However, it lacked a clear interpretation. In this paper, we propose a new perspective on contextual discounting: it can be seen as successive corrections corresponding to simple contextual lies. Most interestingly, a similar interpretation is provided for the reinforcement process. Two new contextual correction mechanisms, which are similar yet complementary to the two existing ones, are also introduced.
