Example of plotting a serial position curve in R
A while ago I wrote a co-wrote chapter for an introductory psychology text book Essential Psychology: A Concise Introduction. This is a book edited and written by members of the department where I work. My contribution was the chapter on human memory (cunningly titled Memory).
I produced several plots for the chapter (some of which got cut due to severe space restrictions). One that stayed in was a serial position curve. For this plot I used data from Postman and Phillips (1965).
I feel particular proud of this plot because I was just beginning to use and learn R at the time (as opposed to dabbling) and because I had had a really hard time getting hold of the data.
