The model that emphasizes matching person factors with environmental features to optimize performance is called:

• A. MOHO
• B. PEO
• C. Biomechanical model
• D. Kawa model

Answer: (B)

The match between the person and their environment determines how well they can perform occupations, and the PEO model centers exactly on that balance. It views occupational performance as emerging from the fit among the person’s abilities, the environment (physical, social, and cultural), and the chosen activities. To optimize performance, you adjust either the person’s capabilities or the environment or the task demands to improve this fit. This emphasis on aligning person factors with environmental features sets it apart from models that focus primarily on physical capacity (biomechanical), internal motivation and routines (MOHO), or life flow within social contexts (Kawa).
