该研究通过一系列针对60岁以上老年人的实验，探讨了可视化研究中如何更好地包含老年参与者，并提供了方法论建议。

Abstract

While older adults represent a growing proportion of the global population, their presence in visualization research remains limited. In this paper, I present reflections from a series of human-subject studies conducted with older adults as part of a multi-year research effort. These studies include a controlled laboratory experiment, online evaluations, and an in-situ investigation with participants above age 60. Based on these experiences, I provide methodological takeaways for conducting visualization research with older participants and propose directions for future work. This work ultimately aims to provide practical guidance and encourage broader inclusion of older adults as participants in visualization research.
