Carrie Cuttler serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology within Washington State University's College of Arts & Sciences, where she also directs the Experimental Training program for the PhD in Experimental Psychology.
Her educational background includes a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of British Columbia (2008).
Dr. Cuttler's research through the Health and Cognition Lab investigates cannabis effects on mental health (depression, anxiety, OCD), physical health (pain, sleep), stress physiology, and cognitive functions including memory, decision-making, executive functioning, and creativity. Her work examines both chronic use patterns and acute intoxication while analyzing varying THC/CBD concentrations and cannabis concentrates.
Recent publications (2020-2021) reveal consistent focus on real-world cannabis impacts: memory/decision-making alterations, pain/headache relief mechanisms, PTSD symptom modulation, ADHD symptom management, and adverse reaction prediction. Her methodology spans naturalistic human studies, controlled experiments, and animal models with emphasis on dose-response relationships and sex-specific effects.
No scientific awards were documented in the source material.
Dr. Cuttler actively mentors graduate students as evidenced by co-authored publications with asterisked student contributors (e.g., Glodosky N.C.), and is recruiting for Fall 2025 PhD admissions. While specific grant details aren't provided, her extensive publication record indicates sustained research funding.
She leads the Health and Cognition Lab which employs multidisciplinary approaches to study cannabis interactions with human neurobiology, utilizing both human subject research and rodent models to dissect mechanisms underlying cognitive and health outcomes.
