That seems a bit cliched in the sense that what psychological scientists do is so varied. I think about a dozen different images would be better ;) How about something from animal studies, from imaging studies, something from survey studies, memory studies, RT button pressing in front of a computer monitor; children observed through a 2-way mirror; sitting face to face with someone (lots of research goes on that way); how about a hand in a bucket of ice water? You get the idea. There are all kinds. Of course most of these are cliched as well.
But fundamentally for me, what makes psychology a science is the philosophy that underlies the research--it is driven by hypothesis testing and controlled methods. That's hard to depict in an image!

What sources do we have for those kinds of images? What would they be? I thought maybe some folks in a sleep lab? Gerald L.

She did warn the members of the class who searched to make sure they used a) use Google Scholar, b) use Thematic Apperception Test as the search and not "TAT images" as that results in a rather different set of images altogether!
