N2 - We define a family of three related reducibilities, ≤T, ≤tt and ≤m, for arbitrary functions f, g: X → R, where X is a compact separable metric space. The ≡T-equivalence classes mostly coincide with the proper Baire classes. We show that certain α-jump functions jα: 2ω → R are ≤m-minimal in their Baire class. Within the Baire 1 functions, we completely characterize the degree structure associated to ≤tt and ≤m, finding an exact match to the α hierarchy introduced by Bourgain [Bull. Soc. Math. Belg. Sér. B 32 (1980), pp. 235–249] and analyzed in Kechris & Louveau [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 318 (1990), pp. 209–236].
