I have a 1x960 struct array with 3 fields: "IM" , "trialtype", and "memorability"
how can I use the two field "IM" and "memorability" so I can compare them in a graph with "IM" on the x axis and "memorability" on the y

Are they double()? Are they categorical? Are they durations? Are they transfer functions? Are they cell arrays of character vectors that represent dates?

Under the assumption that IM and memorability are scalars for each entry, then
IM = [YourStructArray.IM];
memorability = [YourStructArray.memorability];
%as an outside observer I cannot assume that the IM entries are in sorted order
[~, idx] = sort(IM);
IM = IM(idx);
memorability = memorability(idx);
plot(IM, memorability)

"scalar" means a 1 x 1 array, a single value. As compared to the possibility that an IM entry was, for example, a 48 x 64 x 3 RGB image.
If the numbers are random and don't mean anything, then putting them on the x axes needs to be reconsidered, as they provide no position information.
Perhaps what you want is for the memorability values to be plotted in the same order as the index into the array, but for the IM to be used as the label? If so and the IM are numeric, then
IM = [YourStructArray.IM];
memorability = [YourStructArray.memorability];
plot(memorability);
xticks(1:length(IM));
xticklabels(IM);
set(gca, 'XTickLabelRotation', 90);
setting the rotation to 90 is an attempt to deal with the fact that plotting 960 different arbitrary labels on one plot is not going to be readable on anything less than about a 9000 pixel wide display. If the labels turned out to be orderable without gaps (even if the order does not mean anything) then fewer tick labels could be used.
