This limits both the theoretical investigation of age-specific mechanisms and practical applications in age-inclusive design, where researchers depend on specialised eye-tracking equipment to observe such differences. Therefore, we present the Elderly Visual Attention Estimation (EVAE) model, a computational framework that predicts early visual attentional orienting in older adults by combining stimulus-driven image features with age-specific top-down priors. The framework models six dimensions of elderly visual attention from cross-age eye-tracking data: colour brightness sensitivity, centre bias, foreground\u2013background differentiation, depth detection, early attentional prior, and sustained-attention spatial prior. On public datasets, EVAE achieves an AUC-Judd of 0.92, which outperforms existing saliency models and deep learning approaches such as DeepGaze II. The framework is optimised for an input resolution of 128 \u00d7 96 pixels, producing fixation probability maps that are upsampled to match the original stimulus resolution for practical interface evaluation. Cross-age validation confirms the model\u2019s specificity, as EVAE predicts attentional behaviour in older adults but does not generalise to younger adults. An ablation study shows that image features and top-down spatial priors each contribute independently to prediction accuracy, and that bottom-up saliency alone cannot account for age-related attentional patterns. Centre bias and early attentional prior are the strongest predictors, indicating that visual ageing involves greater reliance on spatial strategies and compensatory processing. As an alternative to hardware-based eye-tracking, EVAE widens the scope of empirical research into older adults\u2019 visual attention and informs the design of accessible digital interfaces.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/mti10060063","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,3]],"date-time":"2026-06-03T06:17:31Z","timestamp":1780467451000},"page":"63","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Computational Method for Predicting Visual Attention in Older Adults with Age-Related Features"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7778-6230","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiangdong","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer Science and Technology, Zhejiang University, 38 Zheda Road, Hangzhou 310027, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinchi","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer Science and Technology, Zhejiang University, 38 Zheda Road, Hangzhou 310027, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haoyu","family":"Gu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer Science and Technology, Zhejiang University, 38 Zheda Road, Hangzhou 310027, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tianai","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Software Technology, Zhejiang University, 38 Zheda Road, Hangzhou 310027, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shiwei","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer Science and Technology, Zhejiang University of Technology, Hangzhou 310023, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Business, Technology and Engineering, Sheffield Hallam University, Sheffield S1 1WB, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e047929","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2020-047929","article-title":"Vision impairment and cognitive decline among older adults: A systematic review","volume":"12","author":"Nagarajan","year":"2022","journal-title":"BMJ Open"},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Krishna, O., Aizawa, K., and Irie, G.
