The learned signal in classical conditioning is the conditioned stimulus. This is the stimulus that, through repeated pairing with the unconditioned stimulus, comes to elicit a response on its own. For example, in Pavlov's famous experiment, the sound of a bell (conditioned stimulus) was repeatedly paired with the presentation of food (unconditioned stimulus), until eventually the sound of the bell alone was enough to cause dogs to salivate (conditioned response).
