To refine experimental procedures (including housing conditions) and reduce severity for laboratory animals, we need to integrate the animal's perspective. This dissertation focuses on mice and the development of tests, which investigate the preferences of mice. In Chapter 2, a literature review, potential approaches towards severity assessment from an animal's perspective are summarised. This includes preference tests (or choice tests) like the T-maze preference test, the home cage based preference test and the conditioned place preference test. These tests differ strongly in their conduction and can be used to assess different aspects of the experimental or housing procedures. However, they all share that options are compared typically...
