Kielhofner, Burke & Reilly present model in AJOT
Developed out of the occupational behavior tradition, with three (3) hierarchical positioned subsystems (volition, habituation, occupational performance)

he core of the MOHO: (a) Human systems are dynamic organizations of mind and matter; (b) Occupational behaviour is dynamically assembled, and (c) Human systems self-organize through occupational behaviour. Subsystems have lost hierarchical emphasise and were defined as heterarchic (complementary functions to the operation of the whole system) (Kielhofner, 1995, p. 34)

Volition as the highest form governed the overall operation of the system and was responsible for choosing and initiating occupational behavior. The habituation subsystem was a midlevel subsystem that organized the individual's occupational behaviour into patterns and routines. Volition and habituation, together, gave substance to the actions produced by the lowest subsystem, performance. (Haglund, 1999)
