Abstract: This paper considers a generalisation of selection functions over an arbitrary strong monad T, as functionals of type JRTX=(XoR)oTX. It is assumed throughout that R is a T-algebra. We show that JRT is also a strong monad, and that it embeds into the continuation monad KRX=(XoR)oR. We use this to derive that the explicitly controlled product of T-selection functions is definable from the explicitly controlled product of quantifiers, and hence from Spector's bar recursion. We then prove several properties of this product in the special case when T is the finite power set monad mathcalP(cdot). These are used to show that when TX=mathcalP(X) the explicitly controlled product of T-selection functions calculates a witness to the Herbrand functional interpretation of the double negation shift.
