Artificial Intelligence: If there is such a thing as a "sequential-decision" task, what does a "non-sequential decision" task look like?

Question

I have heard that neural networks are very good when implementing solutions to sequential-decision tasks. However, I assume that the qualifier "sequential" exists because there must likewise be a "non-sequential" realm. Just wondering if there were some standard, canonical examples some people knew of the top of their head. Thanks :)

Recognizing a picture of your mother. Deciding what you're going to have for breakfast. Coming up with examples of non-sequential decision tasks.
