Is the primacy effect ever impaired in the normal population?

The primarcy effect is often impaired in Alzheimer’s disease and I believe in schizophrenia. The primacy effect is meant to be caused by the subject rehearsing the first few list items in a loop, in schizophrenia though the theory is that subjects do not do this. Is this ever the case in the standard population, possibly a person implementing a different strategy?
