There are several technology adoption models, that try to explain, how and why the technologies are adopted and used. Among those, that are widely used to explain, how the older adults accept technologies, there are some general models and models specific to the group of older users. Among the general ones I would recommend paying attention to the following models: Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) proposed by Davis (Davis, 1989), Extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM2), Extended (contextual) Technolo-gy Acceptance Model (TAM3) and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology(UTAUT). Among the ones specific for the group of older users there are: Senior TechnologyAcceptance Model (STAM), Extended Technology Acceptance Model for the Elderly (ETA-ME), Model of Technology Adoption by Older Adults (MATOA) and Elderadopt. The models were identified with the literature review held by SHELD-ON participants (Sheld-on, 2019). This paper provides a brief comparison of the models.
