This paper proposes a model of the process by which players learn to play repeated coordination games, with the goal of understanding the results of some recent experi-ments. In those experiments the dynamics of subjects' strategy choices and the resulting patterns of discrimination among equilibria varied systematically with the rule for deter-mining payoffs and the size of the interacting groups, in ways that are not adequately explained by available methods of analysis. The model suggests a possible explanation by showing how the dispersion of subjects' beliefs interacts with the learning process to determine the probability distribution of its dynamics and limiting outcome.
