Cognitive well-being ( or cognitive health) ，referring to normal or good status of cognitive function in coping with the demands of individual daily lives，is an important factor affecting older adults＇ life qualities. Ｒecent research demonstrated that elderly cognitive function could be improved via training. This article introduced main approaches for promoting cognitive well-being of the elderly，including cognitive training，aerobatic exercises，and the engagements in social activities and everyday intellectual activities among others， and reviewed methodological details of training arrangements. In the final part，we further summarized the theoretical background and future research orientations relevant to the promotion of cognitive well-being. In short，extending and integrating different training approaches，optimizing experimental designs，may be the pivotal challenges to be tackled by future researches.
