contents Video recordings of child-caregiver interactions enable investigation of attentional dynamics during naturalistic behavior. Such multimodal recording also allows researchers to examine how attention interacts with action and language use in real time. However, manual annotation of such data is time-consuming. Here, we introduce GazeBehavior Annotation Toolkit, a deep-learning-based toolkit designed to facilitate three key processes in data preprocessing and feature extraction: post-hoc synchronization across multiple videos, semi-automatic annotation of gaze target categories, and categorization of participants' poses and hand actions. This toolkit improves the efficiency and scalability of feature extraction from human egocentric eye-tracking and video data. Such improvement is critical in supporting large-scale and longitudinal investigations of attentional dynamics and naturalistic behavior in human early development.
