Before revision: The model of hierarchical complexity (MHC) is a framework for scoring how complex a behavior is, such as verbal reasoning or other cognitive tasks.Robinson, 2013 It quantifies the order of hierarchical complexity of a task based on mathematical principles of how the information is organized, in terms of information science.Commons, 2007 This model has been developed by Michael Commons and others since the 1980s.
