    "Optimal challenge refers to the balance between the challenge level  of an activity and the skill level of an individual involved in the  activity. A number of intrinsic motivation theories assume that optimal  challenge is an influential facilitator of intrinsic motivation. Some  researchers attempted to prove this assumption among people without any  disability, using problem solving strategies or computer game playing  activities. This study was aimed at determining its effectiveness among  people with mild or moderate intellectual disability, using a music  intervention program with three conditions. The results of one way  repeated measure ANOVA and subsequent comparisons in pairs revealed that  the high level of situational intrinsic motivation in the first  condition of the intervention program where optimal challenges were  provided for the first time significantly decreased to a low level in  the second condition, where no optimal challenges were provided. It  significantly increased again to a high level in the third condition,  where optimal challenges were provided for the second time. The findings  confirmed the importance of optimal challenge in promoting situational  intrinsic motivation, as mentioned by intrinsic motivation theories,  among people with intellectual disability in a music intervention  program. For implementing guidelines, some practical implications are  mentioned."
