--- Comment #2 from Ansa <ansa.ansa at gmx.net> ---
I think the current choice (show image for question/anwer/both/none) is
appropriate. People may have collections where the question always is "What is
the person in the picture doing?" or "This is a flag of a European country.
Which one?" or even "Where the hell is Matt?" Then it makes perfect sense to
use multiple choice practice with image shown for the question also.

I also think that with the more usual translation from mother tongue to foreign
language, it is good to see the image. I would bet that (especially for people
with good visual memory), seeing the image helps to remember the word (both in
the sense of storage and retrieval). Moreover, images help to make the shift
from the translation stage of language learning to the monolingual stage (you
start thinking in the foreign language without having to translate in your
head).

Obviously, you have to switch it off if you are testing understanding of the
foreign language items - unless we turn the suggestion around and create a
multiple choice image test, where a word in the foreign language will be the
question, and the multiple choice will be among a selection of images :-)
