where i could find information on the question "How does the memory,
the understanding, and the will work for Augustine as "powers of the
soul"? Thank you

Johanna-

It sounds as though you may be studying the Summa Theologica.

I've assembled the following resources to assist you in your research:

Articles on the Summa Theologica . . .

Here is a site that covers quite a bit of theological discussions of the
Catholic faith. These pages cover discussions on the Summa Theologica.

Memory and Mind- an introduction to Augustine's Epistemology
(the theory of knowledge)
This is right on your topic and should be very helpful.

Another interesting piece on Augustine's philosophy:
Scroll down to "II. THE AUGUSTINIAN PERIOD: REASON AND FAITH"
And be sure to read "The positive contributions of St. Augustine to the
Perennial Philosophy."

This site deals with Las Tres Potencias, which apparently comes directly
from the teaching of Augustine. The 3rd paragraph starts the discussion on
St. Augustine. This is a very interesting look at the topic.

An online version of St. Augustine's Confessions for reference.

Good luck on your research. This is a fascinating subject!
