It's obviously true that when people try to recall memories they either

  1. recall them correctly
  2. say they can't recall them
  3. recall them incorrectly
Are you asking me a study on when people say they remember something (cases 1 and 3) they are usually right or wrong?

No, I was asking why you were confident that 3 didn't exist because the comment you said before was that people will either recall correct, lie, or not remember. Lying is not the same as remembering incorrectly but not realizing it, so I agree with your relaxed list. I still don't understand how you think this is any different from an LLM though, which will also always give one of the three options you listed just now.
