Several of the central questions in language, social cognition,and developmental research focus on the roles of input, out-put, and interaction on learning and communication. While ithas become easy to collect long-form recordings, getting use-ful data out of them is a more daunting task. Across four mini-sessions, this tutorial aims to address pre- and post-data collec-tion concerns, and provide a hands-on introduction to manualand automated annotation techniques. Attendees will leave thistutorial with resources and concrete experience for collecting,annotating, and sharing/archiving naturalistic recordings, in-cluding specific open-science practices relevant for these data.
