In this paper we investigate the reverse mathematics of higher-order analogues of the theory $$ATR_0$$ within the framework of higher order reverse mathematics developed by Kohlenbach [11]. We define a theory $$RCA_0^3$$, a close higher-type analogue of the classical base theory $$RCA_0$$ which is essentially a conservative subtheory of Kohlenbach’s base theory $$RCA_{\rm{0}}^\omega$$. Working over $$RCA_0^3$$, we study higher-type analogues of statements classically equivalent to $$ATR_0$$, including open and clopen determinacy, and examine the extent to which $$ATR_0$$ remains robust at higher types. Our main result is the separation of open and clopen determinacy for reals, using a variant of Steel’s tagged tree forcing; in the presentation of this result, we develop a new, more flexible framework for Steel-type forcing.
