BNT administration with 232 adult struggling readers: mean correct spontaneous responses was 34 (SD = 7.28), rising only to 39.72 (SD = 7.33) after phonemic cues. The authors report cues "did not notably help the adults in our sample."

"Therefore, the stimulus and phonemic cues, which are expected to help participants name the object, did not notably help the adults in our sample."
