Since the distractor is still present after the last study item, it should displace the study item from STS such that the recency effect is attenuated.
42.
However, when distractor tasks are placed before and after each item, the recency effect returns, because all the list items once again have similar processing context.

Amnesiacs with poor ability to form permanent long-term memories do not show a primacy effect, but do show a recency effect if recall comes immediately after study.
44.
The serial position functions observed, especially the recency effect, did not differ as a function of whether the participant involved had episodic awareness of the learning event.
45.
After the words relevant to the recency effect are recalled, spreading activation occurs to recall those words with a strong memory trace related to the first words recalled.
46.
I don't think that the Serial position effect ( like the recency effect you and the article link to ) really has that much to do with it.

Primacy and Recency Effects : Primacy effects refer to better recall of items earlier in the sequence, while recency effects refer to better recall of the last few items.

Primacy and Recency Effects : Primacy effects refer to better recall of items earlier in the sequence, while recency effects refer to better recall of the last few items.

The recency effect, also discussed in the subsequent experiment section, is the tendency for individuals to be able to accurately recollect the final items presented in a sequence of stimuli.
50.
This study predicts that the recency effect is stronger than the primacy effect because the information that is most recently learned is still in working memory when asked to be recalled.
