TL;DR
This study investigated the integrity of auditory sensory ("echoic") memory, a component that shows little dependence on prefrontal functioning and affects brain regions outside the prefrontal cortex as well as within.
Abstract
Working memory dysfunction in schizophrenia affects brain regions outside the prefrontal cortex as well as within.

Archives of General PsychiatrySchizophrenics Show Spatial Working Memory Deficits
948 Citations1992Sohee Park
It is demonstrated that schizophrenics are impaired on spatial delayed-response tasks, analogous to those that have been used to assess the working memory function of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in rhesus monkeys, and that this deficit is modality independent.
BrainROLE OF THE RIGHT TEMPORAL NEOCORTEX IN RETENTION OF PITCH IN AUDITORY SHORT-TERM MEMORY
284 Citations1991Robert J. Zatorre, SÉVERINE SAMSON
Findings are in agreement with research on non-human primates suggesting that structures in the superior temporal gyrus are important in retaining auditory information over short time spans, and further indicate that the human right temporal area is specialized for this function.
American Journal of PsychiatryThe neuropsychological signature of schizophrenia: generalized or differential deficit?
232 Citations1994Jack J. Blanchard, John M. Neale
The psychometric limitations of currently available neuropsychological measures may obscure the finding of differential impairment and must be considered in interpreting the results of this study as well as those of any investigation using such instruments.

Results suggest that DA modulates neuronal activity by enhancing the ability of neurons to transmit signals and reduce distortion by noise, which can be captured in simulations by increasing the gain of individual units of a network.
ScienceAuditory Association Cortex Lesions Impair Auditory Short-Term Memory in Monkeys
135 Citations1990Michael Colombo, M. R. D’Amato +2 more
Monkeys that were trained to perform auditory and visual short-term memory tasks (delayed matching-to-sample) received lesions of the auditory association cortex in the superior temporal gyrus, and all monkeys could discriminate sounds closer in frequency than those used in the auditory memory task.
Journal of Experimental Psychology Learning Memory and CognitionCan auditory memory for tone pitch be rehearsed?

The results suggest that auditory imagery can be used strategically to slow the rate of decay of auditory information for tone pitch.
