Cover Story: Older adults scan visual scenes differently from younger viewers, yet most computational attention models are still built on younger populations. This paper presents EVAE, a model that estimates where older adults are likely to look by combining image features with age-related attentional priors, without requiring eye-tracking equipment. Using cross-age eye-tracking data, we identify six factors that shape visual attention in later life and show that EVAE outperforms existing saliency models. The study provides a practical tool for evaluating accessible interfaces and clarifies how visual ageing reshapes attentional strategy. View this paper
